You are right and apologies to all Nagios developers! Actually to protect customers' privacy, I have to obfuscate what I sent before (changing relay.customer.com to "relay" in my excerpts I sent) and I can't send each part that shows ping, but your clue helped me find the section that is causing my problem: # all hosts ping define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name * service_description PING is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 3 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 30 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_ping!150.0,20%!500.0,60% } Many thanks!
